After a suggestion from @abacab, I have created a little Twitter trivia bot. This bot posts a random fact from RandomFacts.org to its Twitter account every hour. There are some really interesting things coming through on it, so if you like trivia, give @triviabot a follow. I will be adding more features soon, such as being able to ask it questions and to play simple trivia games, but I have to work out the details first.
If anyone has any other suggestions for bots or other Twitter scripts (or anything for that matter), feel free to drop a comment.
Can you add a tinyurl for the complete story? I’ve noticed that a lot of the tweets are truncated, leaving me wondering about the rest of the story on a few of them.
As it stands, it’s cool. I’ll follow.

Yeah, that is something I will be doing ASAP. Most of them are actually under the 140-160 character limits, but I will add more smarts soon. Cheers!
